Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 6-cup jumbo muffin baking tin with melted butter or oil.
- Add walnuts to a separate sheet. When oven has reached temperature, roast walnuts for 10-12 minutes, until fragrant and slightly darkened in color—check around 9 minutes, as nuts burn easily! Allow to cool 5 minutes before roughly chopping.
- While walnuts are roasting, whisk together 1/2 cup rolled oats, rye flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon. Add remaining rolled oats to a blender or food processor and pulse until it forms a flour consistency. Add to dry mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, eggs and vanilla extract. Grate apple and carrots (you want approximately 2 cups grated carrots) and stir into the wet mixture.
- Pour wet mixture into dry and stir just until combined. You don’t want to overmix! Fold in raisins and walnuts.
- Evenly scoop batter into each baking tin—it should come almost all the way to the top. Use dampened fingertips to smooth out the tops. Sprinkle on remaining 2 tablespoons rolled oats and gently press into the batter.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool 10 minutes before enjoying and to cool completely before storing. Muffins will keep for three days at room temperature, 1 week in the refrigerator or 2 months frozen.
My Giant, Delicious Morning Glory Muffins: A Home Baker's Triumph
For years, I’ve been captivated by the allure of those colossal, bakery-style muffins. You know the ones – towering, golden-brown, and bursting with the promise of a sweet, satisfying treat. But let’s be honest, the prices at those upscale bakeries can be a little… eye-watering. And then there's the nagging question of ingredients. What exactly are they putting in those things? That’s what inspired me to embark on my own muffin-making journey, resulting in a recipe so good, I’m sharing it with you all today.
